I was never actually able to publish this story because of my lazyness... until now.

Chapter I

"Why? Why can't you forgive me?!" Clutching her hair, Mikan radiated despair and hatred.

"Mikan, shut up." A silent wave overcame the survivors. It was Hinata's voice. They've never heard Hinata talk like that. "You're getting boring." His irises were strangely red, making everyone unable to look away from his eyes.

"Hinata-san, are you not forgiving me?" Mikan's eyes grew narrow. "Or are you forgiving me? Even if you do, you'll never going to get the love that I receive from "that person." Her eyes became blank by hallucinating.

"I told you. Shut up. I have no need for Enoshima's," Hinata paused "Love." It sounded like he was testing what that word meant. Of course he knew the definition.

Izuru felt no love in his life. The concept of it was something that was unnecessary to life. It was tedious and could only interest him for a minute at least. At least for girls other than Enoshima….

"Ah. You've finally woke up, haven't you?" Mikan pointed her finger at Hinata. "It was so boring waiting for someone to remember." A look of exasperation was evident.

"W-w-wait. You guys know each other? And what do you mean, 'he's not Hinata?!'" An uncomfortable looking Souda blurted out, unable to hold his confusion.

His words were ignored by the two enigmas in the room.

"Monokuma-chan," Mikan raised her hand like an obedient girl. "May I move towards 'Hinata-kun?' He may have a high fever."

"Upupu. As expected of the 'Super High School Level Nurse. You may see if 'Hinata-kun' is alright." Monokuma hid his wide grin with his tiny paw.

Mikan stopped next to Hinata. "This is like those checkups I sometimes gave you, Izuru-san. Just think of it like that." Mikan gave an eye smile while Hinata just stood still. The rest of the room, excluding Monokuma, were clutching their podium, unsure of the events being unfolded.

"Ah!" A small smile emerged from Mikan's mouth. "You do have a fever. You may have caught it from me… When I slept on you." Hinata did not look the tiniest bit embarrassed while everyone in the room were looking dumbfounded over at Hinata, then Monokuma.

"I thought you said that the Disease stopped because people were murdered." Kuzuryuu clutched his fist and looked over to the bear.

"Oops. I guess there was a bug in my system so I forgot."

Komaeda was supporting a frown. "Which disease did he catch? You should at least tell us that because Hinata was not cured." He was trying to figure out which disease Hinata had before Monokuma told him.

"Upupupu. That's not very fun. But I'll tell you guys, because it's more fun if you know!" Faces of anticipation were on most of the population except for Hinata fiddling with Mikan's hair strands for a few seconds.

"He's got the other side-disease. The disease makes people have a different persona, but since Hinata-kun already had one, it made his REAL other side come out!" Monokuma's grin grew wider at the realization of the group.

"Then… Is that his talent? His other side?" Komaeda was sincerely curious. This was Hinata-kun's talent?

"Yep! He's not the Reserve-course Hinata-kun anymore. He's Super Duper High School Level Hope, Kamukura Izuru!" A mixture of responses came from the small crowd.

"Reserve course?" "Why is Hope a talent?" "Well, there is Komaeda, the Ultimate Luckster."

A small, "Isn't that the name of the founder of the school?" rang out from someone's lips.

"That's right!" Monokuma's childish voice rang out. "He's not a talentless regular person, but Hope!"

"Hope? HOPE?!" Komaeda's face scrunched up into a face of ecstasy. "Hinata-kun was Hope? I knew all along he was special!" Hugging himself, Komaeda smiled brightly, but it fell into a frown quickly. "He's not the hope I wanted." A look of disappointment could also be seen.

"Komaeda, you are already boring. You have done these kinds of things far too many times for it to be interesting anymore. 'That person' was far more interesting than you." Hinata, no, Izuru stopped playing with Mikan's hair and turned his focus to monokuma, never giving Komaeda a second glance.

"Ah, you're disgusted in me, right? Ne, Izuru-kun, am I worthless to you too?" Komaeda gave a small sigh and clutched his small body. "I knew that I would never be able to become hope… I was a good dream while it lasted." Finally, Izuru looked at Komaeda, hard.

"Leave your dreams in this place, Komaeda. We have to initiate our plan now." He turned to Mikan, who was busily carving a pattern in her arm with a scalpel.

"Huh?" Mikan replied.

"Ohhhhh… Yes, I know what you mean. I was just busy trying to make a picture of 'her.'" Mikan lifted her pale arm. "Isn't it pretty accurate?" And it was. Izuru was slightly intrigued for a few seconds, but turned away quickly.

"But WAIT!" Monokuma looked angry. "The trial's not finished yet!" He pouted from his high chair, finally intervening.

Izuru ignored the bear, already bored of its existence many minutes ago. "There will be no trial. I am taking over the Island." He produced tools from his pockets and quickly disassembled the bear.

Gasps and audible worries were all around the room. "I am now the 'overseer.' I hold the power to change this Island." Dark, worried faces were quickly replaced with faces of shock by Izuru's next words. "We are Despair."

Suddenly, alarms rang out in the Classroom Trial. Perhaps Izuru already knew this would happen. He was the one to bring in the bug.

Nanami was looking carefully at Izuru, unsure of what to exactly say. Izuru caught a glimpse of her expression, and turned to face her.

"Nanami-san, are you scared? Are you fearing what will happen? For yourself or for these students? How about for me?" Although his words felt like words of confession, Izuru's face was the complete opposite.

However, Nanami could not say anything back, not when he looked like Hinata. Her precious, small memories of Hinata could not let her face Izuru.

"I call for a suspension. This is getting repetitive." Izuru calmly stated to Monokuma, who also looked like he could use a nap.

"I wouldn't normally let a student call for a suspension, but because I am bored as well, we will suspend this Trial for 2 days." Another Monokuma appeared and yawned loudly, complaining about the alarms.

"Umm… What do we do about the alarms?" Souda was seriously confused and scared out of his wits. "It's not like we can just sleep or relax because of it, right?"

"Oh, that's simple," Monokuma smirked. "Izuru-kun just has to state, 'I am Hope.' Since the alarms went off because he stated that he was Despair, it would negate the effect." A happy Monokuma stepped onto his limo that crashed into the Trial Room. "See you later, you idiots!" and the limousine sped out of Monokuma Rock.
